For the past week, the media has obsessed over the shooting in
Colorado Springs near a Planned Parenthood, and while our attention was
drawn to that, another mass shooting occurred. The victim count was
huge, but nobody seems to be talking about it, and it’s not hard to see
why.

Some may have heard about the shooting that occurred in Louisiana
last week, when gunmen opened fire at a park with some 300 people in it
and injured 17 people, but for the most part, there’s been silence from
the media about it. According to the New Orleans Advocate,
the Bunny Park shooting was an act of “domestic terrorism,” Mayor Mitch
Landrieu said, and it was committed in cold-blood by several gunmen,
one of which has been apprehended, but there’s several reasons the media
may be ignoring it.

Isn’t it just wonderful that the FBI can’t even secure a terrorist crime
scene in Redlands from the ghouls at MSNBC? Watch the following video
of MSNBC as they paw their way throw crime scene evidence in the Muslim
terrorist’s Redlands apartment. NBC should lose their broadcasting
license over this. They even showed pictures of people and driver’s
licenses of unidentified people who may or may not be part of the
terrorist jihad. WTF?

I’ll say it straight
out: Russia’s Vladimir Putin is the only one fighting a Just
War in the Middle East right now. The United States, Great Britain,
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel are fighting ongoing wars of aggression
and are committing egregious acts of terrorism--and as such their
leaders should be regarded as international criminals.

Indeed, Putin is demonstrating remarkable calm and patience. A lesser
leader with hundreds of ICBMs at his disposal would have already taken
the world into war. The U.S. and NATO have been doing everything they
can to push Putin into war, but Putin is as cool as a cucumber. Putin’s
cool head is almost superhuman. But anyone who thinks Putin is a pushover
is a fool. Rightly did one Democrat congresswoman warn that Obama’s
reckless military actions in the Middle East could lead to nuclear
war with Russia.

With the departure of Ron Paul from Congress, it could be argued
that America has no statesman left in Washington, D.C. It appears
that the only national leader who currently fills that bill is Vladimir
Putin.

Taxpayers might be shelling out more than $5 million for a new Confederate flag display at a museum.

A proposal given initial approval Thursday would renovate the state’s
Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum, adding an entirely new
second-floor room that would display dozens of other Confederate flags,
uniforms and other memorabilia that currently sits in storage.

The jewel of the new wing would be a glass case with the Confederate
flag last seen as a team of state troopers pulled it down at a ceremony
in July. The Legislature agreed to remove the rebel banner less than a
month after nine churchgoers in Charleston were killed in what police
said was a racially motivated attack. A Confederate flag had flown at
South Carolina’s capitol for 50 years.

America bears some of the blame for the bloody wave of Islamic
extremism that has brought terrorism to San Bernardino, Paris and
locations around the world, according to a spokesman for the Council on
American-Islamic Relations.

In a Friday CNN interview, Hussam Ayloush, of the group's Los Angeles
chapter, said American foreign policy has helped fuel the rage that
drives Muslim radicals to kill in the name of their faith.

On December 3, The Washington Post reported that gun crime has been on the decline for about 20 years, except for high-profile shootings in gun-free zones; WaPo claims those shootings are on the increase.

According to WaPo,
“In 1993, there were seven homicides by firearm for every 100,000
Americans. … By 2013, that figure had fallen by nearly half, to 3.6 [per
100,000].”

On Friday’s Breitbart News Daily (6AM-9AM EST) on Sirius XM
Patriot channel 125, former FBI counter-terrorism Special Agent John
Guandolo argued that the “vast majority” of the 2,200 Islamic
organizations, centers, and mosques in the United States are a part of a
broader “Jihadi network” intent on imposing Sharia Law in America.

Guandolo told host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K.
Bannon that the San Bernardino terrorist, the UC Merced stabber, the
Chattanooga shooter, and the Boston Bombers can all be traced back to
such Islamic Centers where “they were supported and trained.”

Looking for a fun way to kill some time this weekend? If it is too
cold where you are to go outside and shoot, I’d suggest you tune in to
the live-stream of Rock Island Auction’s Premiere Firearms Auction. These shindigs are epic. And they’re entertaining to watch, even if you aren’t buying.

But,
now that I’ve mentioned it, I’d highly consider buying. Rock Island’s
auctions always feature some of the most collectible guns on the market.
If you are collector, the Premiere Auction is an event. But there are
always deals to be had for the rest of us.

Check out some of these guns…. The Savage is a once-in-a-lifetime for some incredibly affluent collector.

To-day commemorates the thirty-fifth anniversary of the inauguration
of the last rebel President and the birthday of the first. It
commemorates an epoch in the grandest struggle for liberty and right
that has ever been made by man. It celebrates the baptism of a new
nation born thirty-five years ago to-day. And this commemoration is in
the capital city of the Old Dominion and of the Confederacy.

More than a generation after the utter failure of the attempt, it is
by the statesmen of Virginia, by her public authorities, by the
government of the city of Richmond, who honor themselves in honoring
this occasion, and by the free sentiment of this great and noble people.

There is nothing like it in history. No Greek general, no Roman
consul, was ever welcomed with a triumph after a defeat. Nowhere, at no
time, has a defeated side ever been so honored or the unsuccessful
apotheosized.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

Requiem Aeternam -
Eternal Rest Grant unto Them
==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
